Mugwump Hypocrisy.

The address delivered by George Will
liam Curtis at the dinner of the Common
wealth Club of New York on Tuesday
evening appears to have been an effort to
explain the position of the mugwumps in
current politics and to indicate what their
future course will be. As to the first,
the speech OF Mr.. Curtis was total fall
ure. His statements were not manly or
truthful. He represented the mugwumps
as party of honest and lofty purposes,
acting entirely for the public good. with
out spot or stain in their political record,
when all the country knows their course
has been as inconsistent. illogical. hypo-
critical. crooked and selfish. as it we'll
could be. If Mr.. Curtis had stated in
his remarks that the administration. which
the mugwumps helped to bring into pow
err. and which they support and defend to
this day, had been persistent and remorse
less in the enforcement of the old democrat.
ic dogma that 'to the victors belong the
spoils," there would have been truth in
his smoothly flowing words. something to
command the attention and respect of the
public. Mere words, however skillfully
arranged amount to nothing when weighed
in the balance. An assumption OF superior
honesty and high aims is worthless
when connected with untruthfulness, hypo-
crisy and meanness in practice.
While Mr.. Curtis expressed as much
aversion to the democraticas to the repub-
lican party, he outlined quite clearly the
purpose of the mugwumps to support Mr.
Cleveland as candidate in 1888. He
says in effect to the democrats in one
breath, you are corrupt party and ought
to be destroyed, but in another he whispers.
nominate Mr.. Cleveland and we will aid
you to elect him. Here is principle with
vengeance. We mugwumps will sup
port him, he says. because Cleveland is
better than his party. But Mr.. Curtis
knows while he says this that Mr. Cleve-
land is today what his party makes him,
that he follows its banner aud keeps step
to its music Just as any other democrat
does. and that il he could be elected in
1888 on the democratic ticket, he would
be no less democrat than he is to-day,
would allow corruption to find places in

Boston, while being the Literary center
of New England" has as well been the
headquarters of humbugs. The recent
expose of the receptions practiced by the
so.callcd spiritualistc mediums has
opened the eyes of many of the Hubs
citizens to the vast amount of imposition
to which they Rave allowed themselves to
be subjected. They really have not been
so sharp As they have protested to be and
perhaps may now be able to see why so

If President Cleveland had really de-
sired to rid himself OF newspaper report
ers on his proposed trip to the Adiron-

course. His hint that he does not want
them to follow him, will surely be inter
preted as an invitation to keep the Ameri

COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS.
In order that great good may be accom-
plished in this immigration movement,
and to the end that every section of the
state OF Texas may be fully aud fairly
resented, we recommend that every
county in the state OF Texas
at once organize an immigration
society or committee, and in our
judgment 1t will be better for each pre-
cinct, town or city organization also to
constitute, should it see fl, part of the
county organization. We suggest that
organized commence actively at once
the work Of inducing emigrants to come
to our state.
This report WAS discussed FOR over an
hour, the bone of contention being the
transportation committee independent Of

men objected to such s committee an J

in expunging the transportation CON-
mittee section and empowering the exec
utiYs committee TO transact all the busi-
ness.

to DO with the drafting OF the report and

"sOME FENCES DOWN"
Are tho Farm era for Blaine or Are They

The present tariff on steel wi rods,
from which bsrbed and other common
fence wires are INSIDE, is from 40 to 524
per cent-in the latter case ABOUT S13.4
per ton, or over half the price of the
goods. This is to support the infant
monopoly known IS the Wsshburn &
Moon patent. For the benefit
of a class of iron and steel manu-.
fscturers who have not in ten years
increased their investment, who hire no
more men than they did in 1870, and who
lock out their men ten times as often, the
farmer must pay double price for every
foot of wire he may buy. The iron.
workers do not increase IN number be-
cause as fast as machine is invented the
infant industrislist discharges employees,
while his victims, the farmers, increase
in number, and are as ten to the seven
of all other Americans. Mean
while, the agricul urist, eeeing his
wheat fail from 81 80 80 20 cent?,
discovers that he must sell his goods in
the markets of the world, where Russia,
fndis, New Zealand, Egypt and all the
other countries are his competitors. II

American laborers, WHO have refused TO

This is the tale. Against such wrongs
the President Of the United States, cast
ing demagogue's political prudence
aside, has taken up the word of reform.
The ten American farmers feed the seven
other American makers, speakers, think-
ers and loaiers. Will these ten farmers
support their own champion, or will they
pay taxes to their fellow citizens and DE-
hold the decsy of manufactures through
the very corruptions of a roober tsr Il
The knaves who eloquentIy support this
tariff are the coal barons ana the iron
kings who have compelled the longest
strikes and dictated the most remorse-
less Of lockouts. Through their free
trade in labor they have reduced the
condition of all their employees;
Though their conspirscies and
outreges they have weakened
American patriotism and hot-bedded an
srchy among US. Those are the Identical
rogues behind whom James G. Blaine
hopes to hide all the tattuos that Illus

ing was secret one. The first
two hours were taken up in hear

The burden of those from the Goa! re-
gions was that the miners had grievances;
that they considered themselves eentitled
to continuance of the per cent. in
crease, and that they the miners) would
be bound by the action OF the
convention. The majority of dele
gates present seemed to think
that the strike on the railway was for the
mostipart over and the convention should
devote itself to doing the best it could
for the miners unless the men in this city
should reconsider their former action not
to strike.

TRE REDIJCTIoN or RENTS


+ LONDON, dec. 29.-The Daily News
commenting on the reduction IF Judicial
rents in Ireland says that the government
has offended ell the landlords and has
done nothing to conciliIte the tenants.
The Morning Post says the reduction
viii have the effect of rendering
property in Ireland practically unstable
Those tenants, who have refused to buy
their holdings under Mr.. DAvltt's advice
10 wait for better terms, are fully justi-
fed. Doubtless the present action will
be followed by a further reduction.
The Dsily Chronicle, without disap-
proving the reduction, hints that the
landlords ought 10 be compensated By
the state.
The Dublin Express condemns the
measure as worse than anything that
could be accomplished under the plan Of
campaign.
The Nationalist papers complain of the
reduction IS totally Inadequate.
John Dillon. speaking at New Cross,
said that the reduction of Judicial rents
completely justified the policy Of the
Nationalist and the plan of campaign.
Il WAS true that Lord Salisbury had said
that the measure he now adopted wss the
